Eating Dogs -- Are You Ashame of Your Own Country?

Any situations, the past, the present, the future, the history, the good, the Spaniards, the Catholic Church. Or the so many, many bad or the worst ever happened or whatever may it be done by me and by other fellow Filipinos, I will not be ashamed of being a Filipino at all, at any cost, I should always stand proud of it. Don't be ashamed to our fellow Filipinos who like to eat or munch dogs or even cats. If you can, just tell them don't eat dogs or cats it is a bad thing for being a Filipino. Or just give them foods if you can. Or just teach them to the right kind of foods if you can. And If you can't or don't do anything and just being only ashamed of of our own culture, then you should be ashamed by only yourself and not as whole of the Filipino culture, you are not right to be proud as a Filipino because your are not helping at all to be as a Filipino. We should help each other as being Filipinos. We should help other fellow Filipinos to have a good and better life instead of forever searching only the bad or worsts things in our culture so you can have a reasons to be ashamed of our culture.

...it depends on the situation. If it there is nothing to ashame for being a filipino, so let us be proud to be a filipino -- it depends on the culture we had here in the Philippines. Like what I said, I choose what I know is right -- if it is culturally wrong, I would not accept it. Like the 'spaniards culture' who brought christianity here in the Philippines. Spaniards influenced us in politics like the Catholic church who always meddling the government. From the life of Jose Rizal upto now, the Catholic church has been in politics for almost a year and is always meddling the government like for example, the CBCP. Even reproductive health bill was against by the Catholic church. This is our filipino culture so, for me, it really depends on the situation. If I know that it is not right, I would not be proud of it. I was proud to be a filipino and I was proud with my own culture when I heard that RPG Metanoia, the first 2d and 3d animated film was created by the first filipino animator, and was realeased here in the Philippines, but I would really be ashame with my own country if one filipino brag that he or she ates dogs. It really depends on the situation.

That's a very good point indeed. No one should be ashamed to be FILIPINO.

I know...if this is how you feel nothing can be done about that!

Sorry -- Neither should I? -- but there is nothing you can do if this is what I feel. I only accept filipino culture that I know is right, but when it comes to those filipino who eats dogs, sorry to say -- I would say that in my own culture, I ashame of my own country. Even my aunt who lives in Canada, she told me that it was very shameful for those filipino people who just went there and brag that they ate dogs. U-oh...

typo err let's home-HOPE one day this will be stopped once the older ones gone and the young ones won't accept and follow such steps anymore.

Yup I do agree with you Ilokanos in particular are fond of eating dog meat. But not all Ilokanos eat dog meat especially the ladies and some gentlemen.

Well its everyone's choice whether they want to eat something right. So no one also should be forced into not eating something that he used to eat not unless as you have said due to health concerns. But nonetheless we should still have the right to eat what we want.

Yup the statistics shows it all. Lesser and lesser Filipinos consume dog meat since according to them it very difficult now to find dog meat sellers. Their used to be a market for dog meat in the north but it was shut down because of the new law implemented.

Both of them is barbaric. Besides, this is not our culture, they just want to make it our own culture. I do not know why. I think, let us call it a 'subculture' to those people who ate dogs here in the Philippines. When I was a child, in my whole life, no one taught me that this is our culture so, I do not understand those filipino people who ate dogs. It is in my conscience that tells me that it is not right to kill dogs. Like for example, if you were born here on this earth, you know God automatically even if your parents do not teach you that there's a superior being that guides us. The same with the dogs.
